Perched above Plymouth Sound within the Grade II listed Officer’s Mess at Fort Picklecombe, this two-bedroom duplex pairs historic stone architecture with contemporary comforts. The principal bedroom occupies the original tower, offering triple-aspect sea views and a turreted wash area that makes the room truly distinctive. Upstairs, a bespoke circular kitchen and a vaulted living/dining room frame panoramic coastal vistas, while hardwood floors and underfloor heating provide consistent warmth throughout.
Practical benefits include a secure undercroft garage, visitor parking, private terrace linking to communal decking, and direct access to coastal paths and the foreshore. The home sits within a small, gated community on the Rame Peninsula, close to Kingsand, Cawsand and Mount Edgcumbe Country Park — ideal for regular sea-side walks and boating activities.
Important considerations: the building’s Grade II listed status restricts alterations and may complicate repairs or extensions. The property is sold as share of freehold with a long lease (987 years) but an above-average service charge of £6,510 per year and moderate council tax should be factored into running costs. Broadband and mobile signal are average; the location is rural and relatively isolated, which suits those seeking tranquillity but may be less convenient for frequent commuters.
Overall, this substantial, characterful flat will suit buyers who value dramatic sea views, historic character and secure parking, and who are comfortable with listed-building constraints and higher communal costs.
